Hi Everyone, Im Tom 27
Found out that my dad has got throat cancer though unsure if there is set types with regard to the throat. I am struggling with ill health and has made my chest pains worse (It is not a heart attack before anyone starts to worry about me )
I am on both morphine and fentanyl and as a side effect I struggle to show emotions. My biggest fear is that I will lose him before I start to show any feelings. Due to my dad seeing how morphine effected me he refuses to take either fentanyl or morphine (Told that by my mum) I feel like its my fault why he does not take any of his medications
Got any advice as a guy I feel so isolated as my fiancée lost her mum 2 weeks ago so I do not want to add to her problems
Thanks
Tom
